Solution

The correct option is E
Both the Assertion and Reason are not correct

Assertion: The weakest of the forces between molecules are dispersion forces or London forces.
Reason: Dispersion forces or London forces represent the weak attractive forces that originate as a result of instantaneous dipoles induced in atoms or molecules.
Hence, both the assertion and reason are not correct.
